The Argo Expedition – Epilogue

The Argonauts returned to Iolcus to great acclaim.

It was thanks to the golden fleece shining on Jason’s shoulders as he disembarked from the ship.

“That’s the Golden Fleece… Its fur is golden, just like the rumors say.”

“You really brought that treasure that will bring prosperity to the country…”

“Who is that beautiful woman following behind?”

“So now you are King Jason?”

People, captivated by the sight of the beautiful golden fleece and the magnificent heroes, kept calling out for Jason.

Jason walks along the street with his shoulders shrugged, followed by other heroes, including Hercules, Medea, Meleager, and Atalanta.

The heroes had already finished their story on the Argo.

Let’s help their friend Jason become king.

If Pelias had refused to hand over the throne to Achaea even after bringing back the Golden Fleece, the exploits of other heroes could have been tarnished or diminished.

But that didn’t happen.

“…Okay. Tsk. Back off.”

“…?”

“What are you looking at? Even if I step back on my own?”

Pelias, with a frown on his face as if he had been chewing on something, meekly handed over the throne to Jason.

Naturally, Jason had doubts about the futility of the situation. If it was going to be like this, why didn’t he just hand over the throne before bringing the Golden Fleece?

“I thought it wouldn’t be easy to get the throne back, given Pelias’ lust for power?”

“Well, Jason, isn’t it because of Hercules standing behind you?”

“And it has been said that the princess of Colchis followed you.”

“No, isn’t Pelias a son of Poseidon? Could it be that the goddess Rhodes, whom we met during the expedition, was scolding King Amucos like that time…”

“The difference in strength between heroes and human soldiers is enormous. Why did you just retreat for fear that you might rebel?”

There were many speculations, but in the end, the most convincing theory was that they were forced to hand it over because they could not endure it due to the heroes’ power, Poseidon’s punishment, and the justification for bringing the golden fleece.

After regaining his throne, Jason went to find his father, Aeson.

After Aeson was dethroned by Pelias, he was exiled to a cave…

“Father? I thought you were in the cave.”

“Pelias, he let him go. He suddenly started trembling and said that he had to get my forgiveness to live…”

“…yes?”

“Judging by the dark aura under my eyes… I felt like I had met God in a dream.”

With the liberation of Pelias, who was afraid of something, he was eating and playing comfortably.

Jason was dumbfounded, but he thought it was all right and returned to the palace with his father.

The day of his official coronation as King of Iolcus.

At his side was the beautiful princess of Colchis, Medea.

***

High Olympus.

In the palace of the gods above the clouds, Zeus was talking to Hera.

“honey.”

“…I know.”

“Please stop your grudge against Hercules. I truly feel sorry for you, but it was unavoidable.”

The exploits of the hero Heracles in Colchis were known to all the gods.

Who would have thought that he would defeat the dragon that received the divinity from Gaia and ascend to the throne himself?

The sleepless dragon of Colchis was originally a divine beast given by Ares.

However, that powerful divine being was corrupted by Gaia and even gained the status of a god.

Although he did not gain immortality, he was imbued with the power of the earth and was comparable to a god.

Many were astonished and urged Zeus to make a decision. Even Hera, who hated Hercules,

Nevertheless, the king of the gods remained in his seat with a heavy face.

“Father, if the hero of prophecy dies like this…”

“Stay still, Ares.”

“Hmm! Aren’t you worried about me being your father’s son?”

“It’s not that I’m not worried. But if I can’t even overcome that…”

And when the fallen dragon falls, a new god is born.

There were constant reports that the goddess Hera’s tasks were too much and that she should calm down at this point.

“Queen of the gods, goddess Hera, please calm your anger. The only human hero who can save Olympus is me, Hercules…”

“As the goddess of the home, I know you are angry. However…”

“Hasn’t he already accomplished nine tasks? The last task is to kill that dragon instead…”

Most active was her daughter, Hebe, the goddess of youth, who had previously tested his endurance.

It seems like Hercules has stolen her heart.

“I swear on the River Styx that I will never again commit adultery without your permission.”

“What? What did you say?!”

“Ahem… Haven’t I always told you? It’s true that my actions are inappropriate for creating a hero, but you are my top priority.”

The eyes of the Queen of the Gods tremble at the sudden oath of the Supreme God.

Ha. How she wanted to get this oath!

“…I was planning on acknowledging Hercules even if you didn’t do this anyway.”

“But I guess the grudge still remains. I wish you would get along with my worthless child. Remember how Hercules knelt before your temple… and scold me instead.”

“Hmm.”

…Okay. That’s enough.

***

Meanwhile, Hercules, who had just left Iolcus, was heading to the temple of the goddess Hera to receive his final labor.

He has accomplished nine tasks. If he can complete the last one, even the goddess Hera will acknowledge him.

So Hercules arrived at the temple of the goddess…

“Welcome, Hercules!”

“Priest?”

“Please lower your voice. I have received an oracle from the goddess Hera. Come this way…”

The welcoming of the priests who come out in front of the temple to welcome him.

His attitude was completely different from before he participated in the Argonauts expedition.

Hercules entered the innermost part of the temple, guided by the priests.

As if they had been told something, all the priests hurriedly left him and went outside.

and…

Hwaaaaak-

Queen of the Gods.

Goddess of marriage and family.

The pinnacle of goddess.

A deity that fills a large temple. At first glance, it looks cold, but it is elegant and beautiful. The clothing is elegant.

The goddess Hera, wife of Zeus, has now descended to this place.

Hercules recognized her at a glance and bowed deeply.

Unlike the first time, I didn’t kneel… for some reason I felt like I didn’t have to.

But the goddess Hera did not reprimand him for not being polite enough in front of her.

He just looked at me with complicated eyes for a moment and then spoke in a calm tone.

“Hercules, you have successfully completed my nine labors.”

“Thank you, Goddess Hera.”

“It was also a great achievement to kill the dragon that received the power of Gaia during the expedition to bring back the Golden Fleece.”

The Queen of the Gods continued her explanation to Hercules, who bowed his head for a moment.

“The sleepless dragon you killed was originally a divine beast of Ares… but was sent by our grandmother, the goddess Gaia, to kill you.”

“……”

“The same goes for Chrysaor and Lamia who approached you last time. The reason is that you are the hero of prophecy who will help us.”

“……”

“The Gigas who caused mayhem throughout Greece. They were created by the Protogenoi, the Earth Mother Gaia. And the prophecy foretold that our gods would need the help of a human hero to defeat the Gigas. That is why Zeus brought you, a newborn, to nurse at his breast.”

The calm tone coming from Hera’s mouth.

But what she is talking about is clearly the secret of the gods.

“…At first, I couldn’t believe Zeus’ words that you were the protagonist of the prophecy. Now, I have no choice but to admit it.”

“Thank you. All of this is thanks to the task given by the Goddess.”

“To ascend to the position of a god through your own power… Until now, the only one like you was Dionysus.”

Up until now, only Dionysus, one of the 12 Olympian gods, has achieved the status of a god through his own faith and accomplishments.

He traveled around the world preaching the art of winemaking and gained enormous faith.

Even aside from being the son of Zeus, it was precisely because of such feats that he was able to ascend to the position of one of the twelve gods.

“Hercules, the god of strength and struggle.”

“Yes, Goddess Hera.”

“I will give you Hebe, the goddess of youth and daughter of Yeo. Come up to Olympus.”

It was a radical proposal, but Hercules showed no sign of surprise.

Hercules, who had gained the title of god of strength, seemed able to defeat any god except the three main gods.

Even if she were the queen of the gods, it was the same.

He closed his eyes for a moment and looked back on his journey.

The work of the underworld. The first task given. The Argonauts. The heroic companions and the dragon…

With a small smile forming on his lips, he put his wish into words.

“Queen of the Gods.”

“…?”

“I would like to finish the task. Please allow me.”
